Googled it and found this.
Ratings can get lowered when newer laws allow stronger violence and sex in films, but this still has so many uses of the C-word and authentic violence.
There was an edited cut shown on UK satellite a decade or so ago - TCM I think, with adverts. The scene where they get the fake blues and trash the Jag wasn't there. A few others too.
How do we think this will go? Set straight after, or ten years gone? Jay looking back into the origins?
Going into a film like this just for the (fake) sex? What were you expecting?
Saw a documentary yesterday called The Zodiac Myth, which questioned any connection between the four 'canon' murders, and how many letters were written by the same person. The more you read about the story, the less Graysmith seems relevant.
Indeed. Some very grand ideas.
Cailee Spaeny as Lyndon.
Seeing that, so he knew the magnitude of what he was stealing. Plus the nerves/fear of his assignment, especially considering how secure and secretive the place turned out to be.
Why the need to bring spirituality into it? The main theme to me seems a meditation on free will and pre-destiny. You say 'materialist' a lot in your post, and see Garland has some kind of enemy. Indeed science in general as an enemy.
How would you rather this and Ex Machina ended?
There was a lot going on at the start, with the Amityville section and all the Enfield events that were reported at the time. Maybe a re-write with the Warren's coming in earlier could've kept the time down.
As always, check out the Workprint first. For all the flaws, it's a film that needs defending. I'll challenge anyone who likes 1 & 2 but not 3.
Alien has a few plot holes, once you start asking too many questions. So Jaws wins on that basis.
WY wanted it to look like a routine trip, so went with a human crew and 'replacement'. No need to explain a extra trip to a remote planet. Were androids capable of operating without a few humans in the crew too? And for the purpose of the film, would a Facehugger go for a synthetic, or ultimately be able to use them as a host? All they could do is bring some eggs back, or get incapacitated by attack. That wouldn't be much of a film.
All depends on personal preference. Lambert was put in as the one who just wants out of there, hence some viewers finding her annoying/unattractive, and had most of her scenes cut - if the stories are true. But did end up getting one of the most horrific deaths in movie history.
I believe they used a few different letters. There's no way of knowing who actually wrote them though. Even the genuine ones could've been written on Zodiac's behalf.
Same here. Seemed like certain dark, interior scenes were grainy. True about resolution dropping from stream/signal quality, but depends how it was filmed too.
Guess they couldn't wait. And so the actors didn't need to strip or get into it too much?
What did you want/expect to see/happen?
To remind us that the story was a fiction. But a very stylised way of doing it. Trying to be clever, but it didn't work.
I think it was just showing the routine of her day. Which looked like the same menu every time. She gave up in bed through boredom and frustration - of not getting anywhere with convincing the others of what was going on.
